Hi all,
Have had this problem with my Panda for a short while and will investigate it this week.
On first start in the morning it runs smooth, but then as the idle drops on warm up, it starts to dip (video below) but never stalls. This does not affect the overall drive of the car, but is using a bit more fuel than normal. Once the car is up to temperature, it idles perfectly.
Every now and then, I get a flashing EML, but this is few and far between. I have since put in a new set of spark plugs and visually inspected the leads. There are no problems and no misfiring. I will put it on my laptop tonight and get the error codes. The EML never flashes on warm-up, only when I'm driving. No pattern to it.
This sort of idling, to me, suggests a lambda sensor fault. Anyone else have some ideas?
Thanks as always,
